Chapter 55: Seeing the Light of Day Again

The group was silent as they walked through the dark and gloomy cavern.

"Are we really going to destroy that central control room?" ...... sensible little girl," Ise said as she walked, her eyes reddening slightly.

"It's a pity that our power is limited, and if this technology is used by the bad guys, it will be a disaster for the whole world. Elena was also sullen.

"It's really sentimental. A woman's voice came from the side.

"Who?!" The crowd surrounded the city back to back, looking around vigilantly. Vane raised his staff and chanted a spell, a flame burning above the sapphire.

A man stepped out of the shadows, he was slender in a black hooded robe, with some pale face hidden under the hood, looming as the flames flickered.

"Don't get excited, Vane. It was a woman's voice, melodious and somewhat ethereal. As she walked, she lifted her hood, revealing her beautiful face.

Could it be her? Vane blurted out, "You were the soothsayer that day?" The fireball seemed to break free from the staff, Vane's hands trembled, and as soon as the staff deflected, the fireball slammed into the stone wall next to it.

"Why are you here?" asked Vane, who was nervous as he pointed his staff at the soothsayer. Elena is also wary of the women in front of her with weapons in her handsβ€”and more so between women.

Suddenly, the surroundings lit up, and a small crystal ball appeared on the soothsayer's raised right hand, and the crystal ball was slightly suspended, emitting a soft pale blue light.

"First of all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Katrina, the soothsayer of Obojar. She quickly swept her gaze over everyone, and finally landed on Vane, the corners of her mouth turned up into a chuckle: "Vane, it makes me a little sad that you treat me like this, but I have provided you with gratuitous help." ”

"Don't pretend, who the hell are you?" Elena frowned and guarded, though she put her bow back behind her back. "Wayne, do you know her?"

"Ah...... Yes, I did a divination once before at the Divination Lodge in Obohar. Vane raised his hand with the staff above his head and scratched his head in embarrassment. "But, then, Katrina-senpai, why are you here?"

Katrina's smile widened, and her eyes narrowed into a line: "Vane, it looks like your little girlfriend has some preconceptions about me. ”

Elena's face turned red and she was about to have a seizure, when Catrina burst out laughing, "Okay, I'm not going to tease you." It's nice to have so many friends......" She seemed to say to herself at the last sentence.

"Actually, from the moment you entered the Everfree Forest, I followed you alone. You little guys are really timid, no wonder you give the teacher a headache. Katrina said, flicking her long, wavy brown hair.

Vane was speechless for a while, obviously she was not a few years older than herself, but she had the tone of an elder.

"Teacher?" said Elena, curiously.

"It's Minister Rostry. ”

"Minister Rostryy is your teacher?"

"Am I not clear enough?" Catrina fiddled with the crystal ball with her other hand, which glowed brightly. "The teacher was worried about your safety, so I was secretly followed. ...... It's almost time, let's go, it's time to get out of here. ”

"Wait. Elena interrupted. "What about this central control room? And that terrible demon. ”

"You've done what you need to do, and I'll leave the rest to the old men of the Wizards' Guild. ”

Katrina held the crystal ball in both hands and whispered something in her mouth. The crystal ball continues to change until it is frozen in a deep blue lake surrounded by dense forests. The screen is small enough to see, but it looks like the lake where everyone has entered underground.

Vane felt the magic fluctuations grow stronger and stronger, and the walls of the nearby cavern began to deform. The air vibrated slightly from the violent twisting, and a small humming sound sounded. Katrina and the rest of the group were constantly changing shapes, faster and faster, with countless flashes of light.

The "buzzing ......" sound grew louder and louder, and the surroundings seemed to melt......

Suddenly, everything fell silent. It was as if time had gone backwards, and the melted picture began to slowly restore, and the surroundings became clearer.

The feeling of clammy and cold in the cave was gone, and the cries of small birds were faintly heard. Vane touched his body, and it was okay, his arms and legs were still there.

Space magic is one of the most mysterious of all and has been proposed to be banned on several occasions. There are very few magicians who master space, and there is not enough evidence to prove that space magic is a threat to humans, so the proposal is not settled.

"You little ones, remember me?" a familiar voice came from ahead. Minister Rostry, smiling, was striding towards the crowd as the propeller plane came to rest on the grass near the lake.

"Minister Rostry......" Vane and the others were surprised and delighted.

"Why are you here, Minister, do you miss us?" said Felder grinning and being the first to rush forward.

Rostri was still wearing his gray cloth robe, he propped his long staff on the ground, squinted his eyes, and his face became serious: "Young man is really bold, can you come to this kind of place casually? If I didn't let Katrina secretly protect you, I'm afraid ......"

Vane lowered his head, a little embarrassed. Several of them were indeed a little reckless, and the various experiences underground made him a little scared when he thought about it.

"Haha, but that's the charm of youth, who hasn't been young?" Rostri laughed, his long gray beard under his pointed magic hat trembling slightly, and his thin face became more wrinkled, looking like a dehydrated peel.

"Minister, when did you come?" Seeing that Rostri was not angry, Ace became active.

"I just parked the aircraft. I was sitting in my chair enjoying afternoon tea when Katrina contacted me, do you want to compensate the old man for a hot afternoon tea?" said Rostry, looking in a good mood.

"Then let's go to the Honey and Bee Tavern, where the Honey Fruit Tea is delicious!" said Elena.

"That's right!" Ace immediately agreed.

"Haha, I'll talk about this later. By the way, is there anything interesting about the past two days?" Rostry, looking a little impatient.

Everyone, you and I began to talk about the past two days.

Rostri listened intently, frowning slightly as he heard the Dark Mage. Only then did Vane and the others know that the reason why the black mage did not chase after him, the chaos in the fish-man tribe, etc., was all due to Katrina's secret help.

Rostry's expression became unusually serious when he heard about the demons underground and the central control room.

"This may be the origin of the demon on Rolaier......" Rostry's voice was deep. "There are not many records of demons, and there were some magicians who mastered the dark magic of enslaving and summoning demons before the Age of Magic. It is not known how they reproduce, but over the years it has been recorded that their species and numbers have increased. ”

"Coupled with Marcel's elf technology, this is really tricky......" Rostri looked at several people, and his tone was serious like never before: "Vane, the stakes are very high, and you must keep all this secret." ”

"Looks like we'll have to let the Wizards' Guild Headquarters take care of this. With that, a brown owl with flapping wings appeared in his hand.
